His last performance came Saturday at the Lovely Days Festival in Wiesen, Austria.  Winter, along with his younger brother Edgar, rose to prominence in their early 20s and turned heads both for their musicianship and stark-white hair, a result of the musicians' albinism.  The guitarist was born in Beaumont, Texas in 1944 and rose to prominence in his early 20s after a  Rolling Stone  cover story on Texas music in December 1968.
